[Music] the reaction to the the baka love shopsite 3 which I discussed with you last time the Folsom Messiah of 1653 the fact that he converted to Islam and all all the air went out of the balloon was all the air went out of the balloon was the only way to really phrase it that threw the entire Jewish world into a depression because false messiah is much worse than no messiah and so there were various reactions one reaction of the jewish world was to hunt down the sabbath ian's to hunt down those who were his followers because when it comes were his followers because when it comes to messianic movements always our true believers and the true believers believe no matter what the facts are and here even after the death of shops even after the conversion of shopsite 3 to islam not only even after the conversion even after his death there were those that still believed that he was the messiah and still believed in him and this and still believed in him and this spawned another messianic movement in poland by a charlatan by the name of Yaakov Frank Jacob Frank who also broadcast ideas of messianism that he was the Messiah and eventually he was such a charlatan that he convinced the church in Poland a very strong Roman Catholic in Poland a very strong Roman Catholic country and the Polish church was always interested somehow in seeing that the Jews of Poland converted to Catholicism and in fact a non-jew would convert to Judaism was subject to being burned at the stake has happened to a number of them so the church was very interested
